Nominations for the 85th Oscars will be announced on the 10th of January, five days earlier than the academy previously planned.

The date change puts the Oscar nominations three days before Hollywood's 2nd biggest film awards — the Golden Globes, whose ceremony takes place January 13th.

Oscar nominations typically come out after the Globes. The earlier date for Oscar nominations could steal a bit of the thunder from the Globes, which are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
